2023 Chablis, Mont de Milieu, 1er Cru, Jean-Paul & Benoît Droin, Burgundy

Description

From 0.83ha in what is the sunniest climat in Chablis thanks to its exposed, south-facing exposition. This, combined with the rich soil, gives an opulent and open expression of Chablis that somewhat hides the mineral character of the wine in youth. The 2023 is quite vinous and tight at this early stage, with a brooding, powerful feel from the nose. There are hints of orange and apricot in the palate, but there’s also a pleasing counterpoint of fresh lime. Warming and rich at the moment, though the iodine character is peeking out on the finish.

Critics reviews

Jasper Morris MW 90-92/100
Full pale lemon. A rich peach and apricot nose, less exaggerated than was the case in 2019, and the Condrieu style fruit flavours soon depart in the mouth to leave a particularly classic marine mineral aftertaste, not too iodine. 25% wood, none new.

The 2023 Chablis Mont de Milieu 1er Cru is more vibrant and energetic on the nose compared to the Montmains, with touches of petrichor and Granny Smiths. The palate is well balanced with more weight and vibrancy, and cutting acidity. Fresh white peaches flourish on the finish. Very attractive.

Drink 2025-2034
